23 mins confidence: 
van twee walletjes eten Explanation: manger au râtelier betekent "op iemands kosten leven", "van twee walletjes eten", in het Engels: "run with the hare and hunt with the hounds" Eigenlijk betekent het parasiteren, uit ieders 'ruif' eten. In de context van de film had ik graag iets meer conversatielijnen en zou het interessant zijn te weten wie "elle" is. |
